programming languages - C# How to loop through Properties.Settings.Default.Properties changing the values

Question

I have the following code:

foreach (SettingsProperty currentProperty in Properties.Settings.Default.Properties)
{
    if (Double.TryParse(GenerateValue()), out result))
    {
        currentProperty.DefaultValue = result.ToString();

        Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
    }
}

It gets the new value from a mysql database. If I add a MessageBox.Show to show the new value it seems to be working fine but it doesn't actually save it. I assume this is because I am assigning the value to a variable...is there some way to do this?

Properties.Settings.Default.IndexOf(currentProperty.name).DefaultValue = result

Answer 1

This might work:

foreach (SettingsProperty  currentProperty in Properties.Settings.Default.Properties)
{
    Properties.Settings.Default[currentProperty.Name] = result.ToString();
    Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
}

Keep in mind that properties should have scope 'User' in order to be saved.
